I have been electrocuted four times by virtue of being stupid enough to touch the metal part of the plug on a lamp while it was halfway in the outlet. Half of the times I did it on purpose cause it made me feel all tingly.

I once tried to get a lightbulb to light up by touching it to the exposed ends of a cut plug. I was having trouble because one of the ends was still wrapped in the plastic, so I decided to chew the plastic off. I completely forgot to unplug the thing from the extension cord I was using to get the electricity to the lightbulb.

Car battery? dunno, but 12V seems a little too weak to actually do anything to your hand… It can however burn the paperclip, lead-acid batteries have crazy current output if shorted. Then again, i do know this guy who says he gets jolted from a car battery… Maybe too much salt in the body.

seriously? I’ve done that before. here, my cell phone charger is right next to me, let me just- hmmm… well that was pathetic. nothing happened. It just tasted like plastic. Maybe i should unplug the cell phone first…
okay, lemme try it now.
oOOOoooOOhhh, that feels funnnnny! It’s kinda sourish, like a lemon, but it’s all tingly, like licking a 9-volt.

I gots horses. I play with the 300-acre electric fence generator that we stuck on our 10 acre pasture all the time. I melted my tongue to it once and shorted it out.
Thankfully I was rather close to the box. My tongue is still kinda forked. Wounds opening and cauderizing instaneously does not taste good.

1. A 12v auto battery will put out enough current (amperage) to weld with, but only for a short time. It is also enough amperage to seriously injure you.

2. The reason 110vac 60Hz is so dangerous is that contact both freezes your muscles and causes the heart to go into fibrillation. In the military, we were told that it is the deadliest voltage.

3. During my military career, we had one individual who regularly tested for 28vdc control voltage with his tongue. The theory was that he had been shocked so many times that he could barely feel the 28vdc.

I once stuck my tongue in an surge protector and when i came to i was literally across the room and in between me and the opposite wall there was an bed 2-3 feet off the floor so i must have folded up and slid under
